Received some sad news in the last couple days. Sadly my Grandfather passed away. 95 is a grand age to reach and he lived a full life that should be celebrated. I'm ok but feeling pensive. I felt the need to draw but didn't want to do anything too involved so opted for Random Dragon Time.

I wasn't going to be rude, actually for me it's just werid to parade with such informations... If I sounded rude, I am sory, I didn't meant to... The dragon is nice as you said but for me it was nothing else than just odd... Hope you understood me

I'm not going to get this right from her... As I (and you also) said: It's weird TO ME... So it doesn't mean anoyone should have the same oppinion and JUST ME probably won't post this. If she did so to feel better I don't have anything against. It's her choice,I wouldn't do that but I'm not in her place fortunately. I hope we may stop this discussion at this part

Thanks. Am trying to be. Mostly I'm concerned for my Nan (who's not doing too bad herself at 94!) but she's taken it well apparently and luckily there's plenty of the Davis Clan nearby to her so she's not alone.

As for the picture, I'm toying with the idea of trying to add some sort of texture outside the box as there's a bit too much white space going on to me, but when I tried yesterday it didn't come out as pleasing as I'd hoped.

I would imagine at your grandparent's age, people are often quite well aware of their impending mortality and can perhaps accept it better than some of us younger types who haven't been exposed to it quite as much. Hard to say, but much strength to your nan, and to you, also.

Hmm, your first instinct on leaving that white space is sound I reckon - gives it more visual impact. Texture or additions to that space would actually detract from it... but that said you go with your gut instinct as to what looks good, sod what outsiders have to say
